Lodi Unified School District moves forward with plans for nonprofit GOT Kids Foundation

Ron Heberle is a current member of the Lodi Unified School
District board of trustees.

Christopher Olsen: Vice president

Olsen works in Lodi as a certified financial planner with
Ameriprise. He has two daughters in first and third grade at
Vinewood Elementary School. Olsen was inspired to serve on the
board after helping out at his daughters' school and seeing the
lack of essential materials, such as quality pencils.

David Harvey: Secretary

Harvey works for Waste Management in Roseville as an education
specialist, though his accounts do not include the Lodi Unified
School District. His job includes meeting the unique waste needs of
schools as well as working with students to learn about
sustainability and managing garbage.

"I haven't had an opportunity to serve the schools, so I thought
this would be a good way to give it a shot," he said.

Because of the long commute from Roseville, Harvey may step down
in the future to allow a local director to act as secretary.

Gary Lopp: Treasurer

Lopp had lived in Lodi for two and a half years with his wife.
He works with Farmers and Merchants Bank and was nominated for
treasurer on the basis of that experience. He believes that
fundraising is an important part of any organization.

Other board members:

Michael Abdallah

George Neely

Joe Nava

Ruth Davis

Bonnie Cassel

Anthony Morales and Steve Diede were also approved to the board
of directors, but were not present at Tuesday's meeting.
